His explanation brought back the past. Brought back the pain I kept inside for years.
"Dumb" I hissed "Stop it already! Bringing up the past won't change anything! I still hate you!" I calm myself or else I will explode. I tried to keep this hatred and anger all by myself but I can't control myself if he's going to continue talking about that.
I stood up and was about to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me. I lost my balance and unintentionally sitted on his lap
"Ano ba?!" Sigaw ko at sinusubukang itulak siya. Nasa bewang ko ang kamay niya kaya hindi ako makatayo dahil hawak niya 'ko nang mahigpit
"Listen to me,wife" he whispered softly. I can't control myself anymore! I'm going to explode!
"Bullshit!" I hit him hard on his chest as tears started flowing down to my cheeks "Ako nalang lagi yung nakikinig tangina! I'm tired! I'm so fucking tired!"
"Hey,I'm sorry I'm sorry. Don't cry please" he panic. Wait, panic? How insane of me to think that way. He won't panic even if I'll die in front of him
He's trying to wipe my tears away using his thumb but I looked at different direction to avoid his hand
"I'm the victim here! Ako lang naman ang nahirapan but you played my role! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nalang lagi! You will get your position because of this fucking marriage! My dad will get what he wants! Ako? Anong makukuha ko sa kasal na 'to? Yung mga masasakit na salita galing sa'yo?"
I startled when hugged me forcing me to lean my head on his shoulder. I'm pushing his chest away from me but he didn't budge. He's still hugging me tightly and caressing my hair which irritates me. Why is he acting this way?! I'm finally okay now but why does he make me feel this way?! I don't want to love him again! I'm done already!
"It's all my fault,I'm really sorry. This is all my fault" he whispered as he continously caressing my hair. I felt something flowed down on my shirt. Is it a teardrop?
"Mas mabuti pang hindi ka nalang bumalik" diretsong sabi ko. Maayos na ang buhay namin bakit pa siya babalik? Okay fine, mas maayos ang buhay ni Lia kung may tatay siya pero ayos na din naman kami kahit wala siya
"Completely opposite of what I want. I want to tell you about this impatience but I remained patient and waiting for you to ease the pain because that's what your grandma told me. I already expected this from you when you came back but it hit me differently. All I want is my wife to love me again" he said like he's in pain. I'm the one who supposed to be in pain here!
Continuation
I sensed that she already left so I immediately went to her grandparents. I'm sure she's there,right?
I saw her grandmother outside the house,watering the plants so I went out of my car and walked towards her. She looked surprised to see me here
"Nandyan po ba si Shalian?" Magalang na tanong ko
"Wala" maikling tugon niya at seryoso lang ang ekspresyon. Mukhang galit sa 'kin
"Alam niyo po ba kung nasaan siya?" Tanong ko ulit,nagbabakasakaling alam niya
"Hindi" sagot niya nang hindi man lang ako tinitignan. Hindi kona alam ang sasabihin ko para lang ituro sa 'kin kung nasaan siya. May biglang sumagi sa isip ko
"Kailangan ko pong malaman kung nasaan siya dahil buntis siya" kaagad nabaling ang atensyon ng lola niya sa 'kin
"Kami nalang ang bahalang makiusap sakanya. Hindi ka niya kailangan" seryosong sabi niya bago nagmadaling pumasok sa bahay. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako natamaan sa mga sinabi niya. Tama naman ang sinabi niya
I have no choice but to lower my pride and talk to my parents to ask if they know where she went. I'm really curious about her. I want to be answered!
I drove as fast as I can and reached the mansion in no time. I headed to Alexi's room because she's friend with Shalian
"Oh kuya! I'm not expecting to see you here,they are looking for you" Alexi welcomed me that way. She's making me more nervous
"May alam ka kung saan pwedeng pumunta si Shalian?" Mukhang nagulat siya sa tanong ko
"Ate Shalian's missing?!" She can't control herself but to shout. She has no idea? Where the fvck are you Shalian?
"Call her! Bilis!" Utos ko sakanya. Nagmadali siyang kunin ang cellphone niya at nagdial ng number. Naglalakad siya ng pabalik balik habang naghihintay na may sumagot.
"Walang sumasagot" Huminga ako nang malalim at minasahe ang sentido ko
"Call her again" utos ko ulit. Napaupo ako sa kama at napahilamos nalang sa mukha ko nang sabihin ni Alexi na wala pa ring sumasagot.
"Why did she left? I know her,she won't do that" Alexi looked at me,judging me already
Everybody knows her except me.
"Alejandro,where have you been?" I glanced at my dad who's looking so serious right now
"That's not the problem dad" Alexi joined the conversation. My dad glanced at her and furrowed his eyebrows "Ate Shalian left"
"What?! Why would she do that?" My dad looked at me waiting for answer
"I pushed her away" I looked away because I don't want to see their judgemental stare.
" I'm sorry for being selfish son, hindi ko inisip ang nararamdaman mo. You won't do this if you love her. I think it's better for you to seperate ways" I'm shocked about what he said. I'm wanting to hear this from him back then and I don't know why but I don't want it
"No. Hindi kami maghihiwalay hangga't hindi ko nasasagot ang mga tanong ko. Isa pa,she's pregnant " seryosong sabi ko. Gulat silang napatingin sa 'kin at ayaw ko munang sagutin ang marami nilang tanong kaya nagpaalam na 'ko sakanila at sinabing hahanapin ko siya.
"Kuya!" Alexi called me when I was about to get inside the car
"What?" I raised a brow. I'm in a hurry so I don't want to waste time. "What's the problem?" I asked again when she furrowed her eyebrows like I did something to her
"You're a jerk!" She shouted. My eyes widened,not expecting her to say that. I'm her brother,what is she talking about?
"What did you say?" I furrowed my eyebrows
"You hurt her that much that's why she left! How heartless are you?! You don't know how painful it is for her! She doesn't want us to see that she's in pain but I can see it through her eyes! I don't get you kuya! She's someone that doesn't know how to give up but you made her!" She shouted and ran back inside.
I was left shocked here. I know that Alexi is straightforward, if she don't want something she will say it directly, not thinking if you will get hurt or not.
I sighed when I remembered what Alexi said. I made her give up knowing that she doesn't know how to give up.
"Oy pare bakit ka nandito? Kakagaling palang ng parents mo dito, hinahanap ka. Grabe kakauwi ko palang ng Pinas problema kaagad dala mo" bungad sa 'kin ni Luis pagkapasok ko
"She left" maikling tugon ko. Hindi ko alam kung nakuha niya ba yung sinabi ko o hindi
"Sabi na sa'yo may mali sa Denice na 'yon e" he shook his head and gave me some wine because he's drinking when I entered his house.
"Dumbass! Shalian is the one who left" I said looking at different direction and sipped at the glass of wine.
"Hindi ba dapat masaya ka? I thought you don't like her? Why are you affected?" He tilted his head to see my expression
"Hindi kona rin alam. Mas lalo akong naguluhan nang malaman kong siya yung sumulat ng mga 'yon" nasamid si Luis dahil sa sinabi ko
"What the hell bro?! Hindi nga?! Ang liit naman ng mundo" tugon niya. Pati din ako hindi ko na alam kung pinagtritripan ba 'ko ng tadhana o ano
"May kilala kang detective diba?" Tanong ko.
"Ah oo sandali" may tinawagan siya sa phone niya at iniwan muna ako sa sofa
"Ano daw pangalan?" Tanong niya pagkabalik niya
"Shalian Villafuente" sagot ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagandahan sa pangalan niya nang tinuglungan ng apelyido ko
"Sure kang apelyido mo yung gamit niya?" Pinagtaasan niya ako ng kilay
"She's my wife,what are you talking about?" I furrowed my eyebrows
"I thought you're disgusted by the mention of her name? And now you mentioned her as your wife?" Luis shook his head and clapped his hands. I have a problem here and he's still has the courage to tease me
"Text me if you need some informations" I said before leaving his house
I went to our house to rest but decided to check out her rooms to find some clue. Maybe she left a letter or something
She left nothing. All I can see here is my wedding ring on her cabinet. Where's her wedding ring? Maybe she brought it with her,I mean it's important to her.
I bit my lower lip when I opened the refrigerator and saw a chocolate cake inside it. Is there a special celebration? Why did she left a cake here?
I immediately checked my phone to see the date when I read what's written on that cake. How can I pushed her away in exactly our first anniversary? Was she thinking that I will come home to celebrate our anniversary? She knew that I hate that day,how can she think that way?
I don't need proof to say that...
She's the girl who wrote those letters!
She's making extra effort not expecting something in return. She's always trying, hoping that it will work this time. Alexi is right, I'm really a jerk
Kinuha ko yung cake at inakyat sa kwarto ko. My regrets doesn't end there. I saw the envelope placed on my table and has her ring on it. I really made her gave up,didn't I? She's always wearing this ring,how can she leave it here?
There's a sticky note attached on the envelope. I think it's purposely written for me.
No need to give me one week Ian. I just want to let you know that I'm still happy because you came on this day eventhough I know you didn't came here to celebrate but to leave. You're the one who encourage me to hold on and also to let go. Happy first and last anniversary Ian! I hope you will have a happy family
I clearly saw the teardrops that dried already on the envelope
Fvck! I want to see her already hoping that this feeling will go. Maybe I'm just guilty,it's not that I love her right? I didn't love Denice just because of those letters, I loved her because of her attitude.
Wait. I misinterpret her words! Denice is not selfless,she's selfish that's why she's blaming herself! And about her mother? That was just an excuse isn't it?
Damn it! I fell inlove with the wrong person who was supposed to be my wife!
"Luis find her as soon as possible." I said firmly as soon as Luis answered the phonecall
[Walang Shalian Villafuente talaga pare,baka nasa ibang bansa na yung asawa mo.] He concluded.
"I don't care kung nasaan pa siya basta hanapin mo." I said before ending the call.
The next day I decided to visit her grandparents and saw her grandmother watering the plants outside.
"Ano na naman ang ginagawa mo rito?" Tanong ng lola niya. Nanlilisik pa rin ang mga mata tuwing nakikita ako.
"Kamusta raw po ang asawa ko? Ayos lang po ba siya? Yung anak namin?" Sunod sunod na tanong ko. Hindi na'ko mapakali. Gustong gusto ko na siyang makita.
"Ayos lang. Nasa bahay siya ng kaibigan niya ngayon." sagot ng lola niya. Nakahinga naman ako nang maluwag pero kinakabahan pa rin ako dahil baka maisipan niyang ipalaglag ang anak namin.
"Pwede ko po bang malaman kung saan nakatira ang kaibigan niya?" Tanong ko, nagbabakasakaling sasagutin ako.
"Mas makakabuti muna sakanya yung lumayo. Sinabi niyang mabuti naman ang kalagayan niya roon kaya hinayaan na lang muna namin. Tsaka ayaw niya rin sabihin kung nasaan siya." sagot ng lola niya. I want to take care of her, she's pregnant... with my child.
Papasok na dapat ang lola niya sa loob pero tinawag ko siya.
"Sandali po!" Pagpigil ko. Tumingin siya sa 'kin at naghintay ng susunod kong sasabihin.
"Pwede niyo po ba akong kwentuhan tungkol sakanya?" Tanong ko. Gustong gusto ko siyang makilala. I'm curious about her. Marami akong tanong na hindi pa nasasagot. I judged her but I don't really know her story.
Her grandmother sighed before she nodded and left the gate open for me to enter. Her grandfather looked surprised to see me here but he decided not to talk.
"Napakalikot niyang bata tapos hindi pa siya marunong mag dahan dahan." pagkukwento ng lola niya bago inabot ang album para ipakita ang nga pictures.
"Maraming nagkakagusto sa positibong pag iisip niya kaya maraming gustong kumaibigan sakaniya kaso hindi siya mahalubilo dahil tahimik lang siya." pagpapatuloy niya. I also love her positivity.
"Kaya malaking pagpapasalamat namin sa'yo dahil binalik mo ang pagkamasayahin niya. Simula kasi nang mamatay ang mama niya at.." napatingin ako nang tumigil siyang magsalita. At? At ano?
"Ano po?" Tanong ko. Mukhang nagdadalawang isip pa ang lola niyang ipagpatuloy ang sasabihin.
"At.. magahasa siya ng tatay niya..." mukhang pilit lang ang pagpapatuloy niya.
"Ano po?!" Gulat na tanong ko. Hindi ma proseso ng utak ko ang narinig ko.
Did I heard her right? My wife got raped by her father?
"Sampong taong gulang palang siya, pinagsasamantalahan na siya ng tatay niya at hindi man lang nakapagsumbong sa 'min dahil kinukulong siya sa kwarto. Pero nadatnan naming isang araw na sapilitang tinatanggalan siya ng saplot.." she continued. Mukhang naiiyak pa siya dahil sa naalala.
Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko. Is that what Denice said? That she did that so many times already? What the fvck?!
"Ikaw din naman wala kang alam sa buhay ko pero hinusgahan mo na ako kaagad."
I remembered what she said last time. Bawat nakakaalam ako ng mga bagay tungkol sakaniya ay nadadagdagan ang pagsisisi kong hindi ko siya kinilala.
How can I call her disgusting?! Bullshit!
I should've help her overcome her trauma!
"Bakit hindi siya nagsumbong sa mga pulis?" Tanong ko. Biglang nag init ang ulo ko. Itsura palang ng matandang 'yon mukhang wala ng gagawing matino!
"Yun din yung ayaw ko sa pagiging mabait at positibo niya. Naniniwala siya na magbabago pa ang daddy niya pero hindi naman siya nagbago. Ayaw niyang siya mismo ang dahilan ng pagkakulong ng daddy niya. Nagalit siya pero nandon pa rin ang pagmamahal niya." pagpapaliwanag ni lola.
"Sandali lang po, may pupuntahan lang ako." pagpapaalam ko at nagmadaling umalis. That pervert old man!
I was holding the steering wheel tightly while driving. I was driving so fast that I reached that old man's building in no time.
"Sir bawal po muna kayong pumasok hanggat wala kayong schedule." pagbabawal sa 'kin ng secretary ng matandang 'yon pero hindi ko pinakinggan at dumaretso lang patungong opisina niya.
"Oh Alejandro what-" hindi niya na natapos ang sinasabi niya nang suntukin ko siya sa mukha.
"How disrespectful! In case you forgot this is my place!" He shouted out if anger.
"I don't care!" I'm trying so hard to control myself but imagining Shalian being raped by her own father is just pissing me off!
"How could you do that to your own daughter?! How could you do that to my wife?!" I shouted and grabbed the collar of his shirt. Some guards entered the room and grabbed my arms to stop me but I didn't let go.
"What are you saying?" He raised a brow, holding the part of his face that I punched.
"You molested your daughter! How can a father do that?!" I shouted. His guards looked shocked about what they heard as well as his secretary.
"Don't jump into conclusions young man." he said, insulting me. He even chuckled as if he doesn't know what I'm pertaining.
"I'll see you in court." I said and pulled my arms from his guards. I walked few steps away. "You're lucky my wife stayed quiet for years. I'll make sure you will rot in jail." I said before leaving.
"Alejandro, anong sinabi mo roon?" Tanong ng dad ko pagkapasok niya sa office. Sinabi ko ang ilegal na ginagawa ni Mr. Formentera. Hindi ko sinabi ang tungkol sa paggahasa sa asawa ko dahil pribado 'yon. Alam ko namang hindi naniwala sa 'kin ang mga empleyado nung matandang 'yon at mabuti na nga ang ganon.
Ginamit ko ang mga illegal transactions na ginagawa ng dad niya at ang mga patagong pagnanakaw niya sa mga business partners niya. On that way, pwede siyang makulong.
Ilang linggo ang nakalipas ay nabalita ang dad niya na makukulong dahil sa salang Plunder. Marami siyang nanakaw na pera kaya malamang ay hindi na siya makakalaya. Hindi ko man siya kinasuhan ng rape, ang importante ay mapaparusahan siya.
I wish she watched the news.
I thought in that way I can finally let this guilt go but I was wrong.
I sighed when I entered the house without her presence. I missed it how I entered the house and being greeted with her wide smile and her 'never give up' quotes.
My dad is temporarily managing our company while I'm visiting Shalian's grandparents.
So her favorite color is purple and she loves sinigang.
"Sobrang close niya sa mama niya at sa mama niya rin nakuha ang ugali niya." her grandmother said. I nodded while remembering the letters and my wife.
I started to imagine if our fate is different. What if she's the one I saw putting a letter on my locker? I'm sure we're both happy. Just by thinking of that, I started to miss her again. Why am I missing her? I should be free now. Why can't I let go of the past?
"Ayaw niya pa po bang umuwi? Hindi niyo po ba siya pwedeng pauwiin?" Tanong ko. I really don't know why I want to see her so badly.
"Mas ayos na muna 'to. Kilala ko ang apo ko, hindi niya kami matitiis. Pero hindi siya umuwi dahil masakit sakaniya yung nagawa mo. Uuwi rin 'yon kapag kaya na niya. Hindi mo magugustuhan kapag galit siya." pagpapaliwanag niya. Nalulungkot ako sa mga narinig ko. Kailangan ko siyang hintayin na siya yung kusang bumalik?
"Paano po yung anak namin?" Tanong ko. Kinakabahan ako, dapat nandon ako sa tabi niya.
"Tinanong ko na rin sakaniya pero ayaw niya talagang umuwi. Hayaan mo muna siyang mahanap niya ang sarili niya. Pinilit ko na rin siyang umuwi pero ayaw niya talaga dahil maayos naman daw ang kalagayan niya doon."
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Ayaw niya talagang umuwi?
Tinuon ko ang atensyon ko sa trabaho para maiwasang isipin siya.
Kapag weekends bumibisita ako sa bahay ng lola ng asawa ko para makibalita sakanya.
"Kamusta raw po siya?" Tanong ko pagkapasok ko. Mukhang malungkot sila kaya kinabahan kaagad ako.
"Ayaw niya muna raw ang may kausap." sagot ng lolo niya
Napaupo ako at minasahe ang sentido ko. Nawalan na 'ko ng koneksyon sakaniya.
"Hayaan muna natin siya. Tatawag din 'yon." sabi ng lola niya para pagaanin ang loob ko.
"Ano ba Luis bakit ang bagal mong maghanap?!" Sumigaw na 'ko sa sobrang inis. Nasa club kami ngayon nina Dash at naparami na rin ang nainom ko kaya mabilis na akong mainis.
"Wala nga raw mahanap na ganoong pangalan." mahinahong pagpapaliwanag niya.
"Ano ba talagang rason mo bakit mo hinahanap?" Tanong ni Dash, mukhang naguguluhan siya. "Hindi ba ito yung gusto mo?"
"I want my wife back.." Wala sa sariling sagot ko bago ininom ang laman ng glass shot.
"Oy gago pare akala ko bang hindi mo gusto?" Gulat na tanong ni Luis at binigyan ako ng mapang asar na ngiti.
"Oo nga sabi mo pa nga kung gusto ko yung asawa mo, sa 'kin nalang e. Tsaka malay mo may jowa na 'yon, six months-" hindi niya natuloy ang sinasabi niya nang kwelyuhan ko siya. Nag init ang ulo ko dahil sa sinabi niya. I don't want Shalian to be with other man!
"Oyy pare chill lang!" Awat sa 'kin ni Luis at inalis ang kamay ko sa kwelyo ni Dash.
"Kalma pre" tinaas ni Dash ang dalawang kamay niya bilang pagsuko.
"Mahal mo ba pre?" Tanong ni Luis. Hindi ko rin alam ang sagot. Do I love her?
"Oo.." Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit yun yung sinabi ko. Gustong gusto ko na talaga siyang makita.
Pagkauwi ko, kaagad akong dumaretso sa kwarto para matulog na pero hindi ako makatulog. Dati parang impyerno 'tong bahay na 'to dahil sa presensya niya, ngayon mas ayaw ko nang umuwi rito dahil wala siya.
"Fvck it's all my fault!" I kicked the night stand. "I want my wife back!" Nagmukmok na naman ako buong gabi habang iniisip kung ilang araw pa ba ang titiisin ko para makita siya.
Napagdesisyonan kong magpagawa ng bahay para sa 'min. I will bring her back whatever it takes!
It's already 9 months since it happened so I hurried to her grandparents house to ask about her.
"Hindi pa po ba siya macontact? Nine months na." kinakabahang sabi ko. I want to be there for her. I can't stand this!
"Hindi pa rin." matamlay na tugon ng lola niya. Parang pinagbagsakan ako ng lupa dahil sa narinig ko. Ilang buwan na simula nung huling tawag niya.
Nagpaalam ako na pupuntahan ko muna si Luis para makibalita.
"What the fvck Luis! It's already nine months and you still can't find her?!" I massaged my head while talking to Luis.
"I already tried Formentera bro, wala talaga even sa ibang bansa. Eto lang yung mga nahanap naming kapangalan niya." linapit niya sa 'kin ang laptop. Napakunot ang noo ko nang wala talaga siya roon.
"Fvck! Where could she be?!" I asked Luis as if he knows the answer.
I'm dying just 9 months without her!
Mas lalo akong kinabahan nang mag ten months na.
Our baby.... is already here.
Hindi pa rin daw siya ma contact, fvck!
"Mahal niya pa ba 'ko?" Pabulong na tanong ko. Hindi ko inaasahang maririnig ni lola.
"Hindi mo alam kung gaano kaniya kamahal. Ayaw niya ngang magpakasal sa 'yo kahit ikaw ang gusto niyang mapangasawa dahil iniisip ka niya. Pumunta rito noon ang daddy niya para sabihing kung hindi siya magpapakasal, mawawala lahat sa 'yo. Ang posisyon mo, ang kumpanya niyo at mas lalo kang paghihigpitan, kaya natakot siya. "
Mas lalo akong nagagalit sa sarili ko dahil sa narinig ko. I was blaming her for this marriage and she only agreed for me.
Mas lalo akong nahuhulog sakaniya kapag kinukwento sa'kin ni lola ang ugali niya. She's selfless, tough, brave and knows how to sacrifice.
I felt pain when the designer of our home asked me what's the theme of our baby's bedroom. I don't even know if it's a girl or a boy. I answered her that we have twins so they made two rooms, one for boy and one for girl.
I suddenly smiled when I was holding a bear that will place on my child's room. I was imagining a baby girl holding this bear with her mom and dad.
I want to greet her at our first anniversary but I don't know how. I remembered I pushed her away that day which hits me. Years passed and I'm still waiting for her.
"Tumawag sa 'min si Shalian!" Nakangiting bungad sa 'kin ni lola. Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi ko para pigilan ang paglawak ng ngiti ko.
"Ano pong sabi? Uuwi na po ba siya?" Tanong ko. Biglang nawala ang ngiti ni lola.
"Ayaw niya pang umuwi. Nung binanggit namin ang pangalan mo sinabi niyang ayaw niya munang marinig." malungkot na sabi ni lola. Unti unting nawala ang ngiti sa labi ko.
I felt my heart shattered. My wife doesn't want to hear my name. Atleast we can contact her now, right?
My heart started to race when her grandma said that she ended the call when they asked her about our child. Why did she do that?
Something sank in my mind but no, she won't do that to our child. She didn't abort it.. I calm myself and washed away those thoughts. Shalian can't do such a thing.
I already moved in our house and sleep on our bed. I can't sleep well so I went to the room where our baby girl should sleep. I really think it's a girl. I looked at the ceiling as I watched the moons and stars hanging there. I started to imagine a baby girl sleeping here while I was watching her fall asleep.
Umaga palang ay pumunta na 'ko kina lola upang makibalita tungkol kay Shalian.
"Lola! Ano pong nangyari?!" Nagmadali akong tumakbo papunta kay lola nang madatnan siyang nakaupo sa sahig at wala nang malay si lolo.
Tinakbo namin siya papuntang hospital at hinintay siya sa labas ng ER. Habang hinihintay namin siya ay may tinatawagan si lola.
Sabi ng doctor ay malaki daw ang chance ni lolo na magising dahil mild heart attack daw. Mga dalawa hanggang tatlong araw lang daw ay magigising na pero hindi pa rin mapakali si lola.
"Uuwi na siya mamaya." agad napabaling ang tingin ko kay lola dahil sa sinabi niya.
"Ano po?!" Gulat na tanong ko, hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya.
"Uuwi si Shalian mamaya. " pag uulit niya.
Finally! I heard the words I wanted to hear these past few years. My wife will come back!
-end-
So he's saying that he missed me huh?
I was about to say something when someone called. I looked at Ian and furrowed my eyebrows. He immediately removed his hands encircling my waist so I stood up and walked towards where my phone was placed.
[Shaaa! I miss you!] Kianna said as soon as I answered the phone call.
"I miss you!" I respond. Nakakamiss naman talaga si Kianna, kamusta na kaya siya? For sure siya lang mag isang nakatira sa bahay dahil lumipat na kami ni Lia.
[I heard your husband own a resort.] sabi niya at parang may binabalak sa tono ng pananalita.
"Oo" maikling tugon ko.
[Uhm nag iisip kasi kami kung saan yung venue para sa bikini pictures and I was thinking if pwede sa resort ng asawa mo hehe.] kilala ko pag ganto 'tong babaeng 'to may kailangan na naman.
"Pwede raw mag shoot sa resort niyo?" Tanong ko kay Ian. Pinagtaasan niya ako ng kilay
"Si Kianna." sagot ko dahil alam ko na ang ibig sabihin ng kilay niya. Tumango siya kaya kaagad kong sinabi kay Kianna.
"Sinong photographer?" Tanong ko
[Rave]
